Frank Duval

Frank Duval (born November 22, 1940, Berlin) is a German composer, conductor, record producer, songwriter and singer.

Born into an artists' family, he studied as an actor and dancer, but also sang with his sister, Maria. By the 1960s, Duval was also composing music, both orchestral and pop, and his first soundtrack, for an episode of the German serial Tatort, was broadcast in 1977. From his 1979 first album, Die Schönsten Melodien Aus Derrick und der Alte, the song "Todesengel" became a moderate hit.

During the 1980s, Duval released several soundtracks, as well as proper artist albums (with occasional lyrical help from his wife, Kalina Maloyer). He was in the German charts several times, with "Angel of Mine" (a number one hit in 1981), "Ways" (1983), "Lovers Will Survive" (1986), and "When You Were Mine" (1987).

Duval wrote songs for Ivan Rebroff, Alexandra, Karin Huebner, Margot Werner, Klaus Löwitsch, and Maria Schell.

Albums

Gunmetal Grey

Gunmetal Grey is a thrashcore band that was formed in 2002 as a side project of some San Francisco Bay area hardcore veterans. It was formed by Stephen Lauck (of Hoods) and drummer Brandon Thomas (of S.E.E.D.). They currently have one album out, titled Solitude. Gunmetal Grey's sound was inspired by bands such as Metallica and At the Gates.

Biography

In 2003, the only members at the time were Stephen Lauck and Brandon Thomas. This eventually led to the recruitment of both vocalist Eddie Hermida and lead guitarist Brandon Scot into the band. At that point Gunmetal Grey sought fit to continue the production of their first album titled 'Solitude' only after bassist Andrew Smith was added to the band. 'Solitude' received mixed reviews from critics, but reviews from Russ Hockenbury, aversionline.com, and one from www.loudside.net, all thought the guitar work was quite intricate and written to perfection. As of 2006, Hernan "Eddie" Hermida departed from Gunmetal Grey to become the lead vocalist for Deathcore band All Shall Perish.

History

The Beginning

Prophet, seer, and revelator

Prophet, seer, and revelator is an ecclesiastical title used in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) that is currently applied to the members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. In the past, it has also been applied to the Presiding Patriarch of the church and the Assistant President of the Church.

Origin of the phrase

The phrase "prophet, seer, and revelator" is derived from a number of revelations received by church founder Joseph Smith. The first revelation received by Smith after the organization of the church on April 6, 1830, declared that "there shall be a record kept among you; and in it [Smith] shalt be called a seer, a translator, a prophet, an apostle of Jesus Christ, an elder of the church through the will of God the Father, and the grace of your Lord Jesus Christ".

In 1835, Smith further clarified the role of the president of the church: "the duty of the President of the office of the High Priesthood is to preside over the whole church, and ... to be a seer, a revelator, a translator, and a prophet". In 1841, Smith recorded a revelation that again restated these roles: "I give unto you my servant Joseph to be a presiding elder over all my church, to be a translator, a revelator, a seer, and prophet."
